Unfortunately, there has been this trend lately
for multi-channel
digital O-scopes to be Windows-based.
To me that implies that the company behind such beasts have no clue what
they're doing, given that alternatives exist that are far more robust
and don't have licensing requirements that push the cost up. Presumably such machines boot from hard disk too?
(I've never seen any
flavour of Windows boot from ROM).
Yep. That was why we had to rebuild it... HD crash (from running it
at 650 millibars for years - the South Pole is tough on hard drives).
